Iv done all i could find on here to do, please heop me get my phone to boot up!!!
Perhaps you should give a bit more info. What were you doing before you got this issue. Were you updating, are you*rooted, what version of firmware and whose network are you on.
Sorry, I am rooted and I am with att, it was Working fine until I tried to put xposedon it , after I did that it went into this boot loop. I used Odin to root and it rooted fine and still worked. Then I attempted to put xposedon and it messed it up. I'm on att and 6.0.1. Let me know if you need to know anything else. Thank you
Tried goin back to factory
I also tried using Odin to go back to the original firm ware, now maybe I did something wrong but I t failed everytime I did it. Any help would be appreciated
When the same thing happened to me, I was stuck/frozen on the AT&T logo screen, I left the phone to drain all the way down. When it finally drained the battery and shut down, I was able to plug in the phone to my computer and get back to the download screen. I let it charge up a little bit, then I Odin'd it back to stock (PI2). I have since been unable to root again, but the same thing happened before. It was a couple months before I tried rooting again. At that time, I was successful. Someone else may have a more elegant solution.

Couldn't you just have tried a manual reboot? Just hold power and volume hardware keys for 12 seconds. Once it resets enter into download mode.

I don't believe that but I guess it may be possible and the hard restart buttons are power and volume down for about 10 seconds, seems like an eternity before it reboots lol.

My phone has the 11-20 build of Gummy on it, I just updated the firmware to MJA (hoping to get data) and it was running well for the past hour. I rebooted to recovery to try installing the Euroskank rom and now my phone will not turn on, it had more than 90% battery when I rebooted so I know that is not the issue. When I plug or unplug it from my computer, it will acknowledge that something was plugged in (by making a sound) but not show what was plugged in. Any recommendations as far as what I can do to fix this?

I held down the power button long enough to watch a couple plays in the Ole Miss game, pulled the battery and put it back in, no luck. I plugged it in and did not get any battery notification. I did find that by holding the power button while it is plugged into my computer it seems to power on and off on some level because it would alternate plugged in and unplugged sounds, still with nothing else being shown like the option to view files or see anything on the phone screen. Is there anything else I can do?

Well all you can really do is make sure your USB cable charger is working, let it charge without touching it for several hours, could also be a battery problem /hardware problem? Any one else? Have any advice??
I have bricked my phone pretty bad a few times, but I have always at least had the battery icon on the front show up,, hopefully a full charge well cure it,, just Checking but by power you mean the top right botton if the phone is facing you?

Not from what I can tell. The screen doesn't show anything, the LED doesn't light up. Is there a trick where I could trigger it using ODIN or HEIMDAL?
Put battery in phone and charge for 2 to 3 hours without turning phone on.
Take battery out of phone and leave it out for 1/2 hour.
Then put battery back in and see if you can get into 'Download Mode' - Hold Home Button AND Volume Down Button at same time and while keeping them held Press the Power Button till you get screen asking if you want to go into Download mode by confirming with a Volume Up press.
If you can get there maybe you can use one of the Odin/heimdal methods to recover.
Or even more simply - Odin Philz recovery and flash an MJA ROM - That's something I'd try first if you can do that.

I just charged my phone over night, pulled the battery for an hour and still no response from my phone what so ever. I would be ok with a total wipe if at all possible at this point as it does not seem to be booting at all. Could this be a bootloader issue somehow? I updated the firmware not long before this issue occurred and it booted up from that for awhile and this issue started after trying to reboot.
At this point, your best bet is to take it to Sprint and get a warranty replacement. Not much you can do if it won't turn on

Ok...just curious does anyone here have Ting and have tips about doing this through them? I don't actually have Sprint directly but use Ting.
EDIT:
For anyone following this, potentially in a similar situation, I found this service which I hope to hear back from soon, it says they can fix hard bricked phones on their site:

My sister's S4, which is running stock unrooted 4.3 is going through the exact same thing. The Sprint corporate store told her that she needs to have it serviced by Samsung >.>
Why don't you make a usb jig and force it into download mode,I think I seen a video on you tube on how to make one,I haven't tried it myself but I heard they work

Just checking, didn't see this confirmed. The screen is non responsive currently, but you said that using the power button yields USB acknowledgement..
Have you tried a complete power down and boot in to Download mode (Power + Volume Down + Home) and then plugging it in and seeing if ODIN recognizes it in Com? It is possible (although not super probable) that you are experience a flash screen/screen on issue that could potentially be repaired by a reflash.. I know a lot of the 4.3 updated were experiencing lack of flash screen but if left alone the phone would still boot.
Worth a try, if you haven't already.. Stranger things have worked for me in the past.

Yeah, I've been seeing other people having similar problems after updating even on other carriers. My guess would be that the problem is related to going from 4.2 to 4.3 coupled with user data/cache of system apps and Knox, but I really have no idea. Anyway, Thanks again
Well scratch that, it's back to its usual behaviour. Could flashing via odin fix this or could it be a hardware issue? I still feel like it's related to the 4.3 update.

Re-flaching Odin may fix it.
But it could very well be a hardware issue. I've had a couple of phone with batteries that were fairly new have this issue. Got new battery, charged and replace it and all worked.

Ok, I went to take a picture and it freaked the **** out. Now I rooted my phone when I got it, I have done nothing else other then Xposed modules and since it start acting up I've literally done nothing else. I only get the screen that says custom and then blah nothing else. I swapped battery (got another battery from samsung directly) and I have no idea wtf to do. Don't recommened ****ing flashing **** or whatever because I have everything stock. This should not happened. I wiped dalvik cache and cache and it was within recovery but my phone can't boot, I removed SD card, sim card and sometimes it'll boot be on for a couple minutes and bam same issue.... WHAT THE FLYING **** CAN I DO? I need this phone ASAP.... I'm this close to just tossing it over the edge and getting a new one.... it's a flying piece of **** and **** samsung!
You might have to start from scratch and determine if it's a hardware issue. Do you know what firmware you're on? Also back everything up because if you start from scratch, we'll that's the what you'll have.
Thanks, I managed to get it on again, made some calls uninstall some apps, but then it ****ing freaked out again. I have the firmware that was on when it was released. I got the first batch of 32gb's S4's haven't changed the firmware since... to prevent this type of ****. UGH! So after a phone call my phone just bleeped again and ****ed up. So I don't understand anything anymore.

Well you might have to to see if it's a hardware issue. I would suggest flashing the firmware you're currently on through Odin
How am I supposed to do that if the phone just won't be recognized by anything? it's ****ing dead now. It shows me the Samsung Custom lock and logo and then nothing. I press the power button and nothing, I have to remove the batter and put it back in to see that screen.
Ok now it randomly is charging and now I can turn it on again, no problem, after I forcefully press the power button and some other random things... could I have an issue wiht my power button staying pressed? why would it do that? how can I fix this? I'm willing to open it up. I'm currently doing a backup in titanium backup and so far it seems ok. Recieved a phone call, phone is charging and everything is ok. how do I boot it into safe mode?

Thanks, I believe the cause was a stuck power button.
Okay about two weeks ago I updated to 4.4.2 from 4.2.2(I think that's the one?) on my s4 and I've hated the update. I decided to root my phone using muniz method and it worked perfectly. I even changed to the nc1.
So, after using my phone without issues for two weeks roughly I noticed last night it started to randomly turn off while texting. It would just auto restart but it happened every 5-10 minutes. After an hour it started happening more often so I plugged my phone in. Now my phone will not even turn on. When I insert the battery the samsung start screen appears for about a second and then goes black. I have to pull out the battery for the phone to do ANYTHING. If the phone is plugged in while trying this and I insert the battery I literately get NOTHING. No samsung screen or anything.
Things I've tried.
Swapped the battery.
boot into odin
boot into safemode
plugged it in while trying to boot
Swapped the usb cord
taken out sim card
Some things to note is that I did not install any new app before this had happened. It was working the same for about two weeks with no issues.
When plugging in my phone to charge or anything I never get an led light at the top of my phone.
I seriously need some help with this. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Yeah using stock wall charger from a wall, computer, and even a different charger.
Is download mode the one where you hold vol down + power + home?
If so it brings up the screen that asks you to press the volume up but it dies before it can ever make it to the downloading screen...

I couldn't do factory reset because the phone wouldn't stay on long enough to do ANYTHING.
So as an update to this...
I was on my way to the closest store with samsung experience which is about an hour away from me and when I almost get there my phone RANDOMLY turns on...
I couldn't be more pissed and happy at the same time. So, obviously I try messing with it a bit and it shuts off again. This time I can get it to turn on after about 15 tries. Long enough for me to do a factory reset!
It lasted a good 30 minutes to an hour and it shut off again.
Hardware issue or is anyone else having this issue with 4.4.2 nc1?

Okay so I brought it by best buy and the guys couldn't flash it or do anything to it because it wouldn't turn on at all. They tried several batteries etc.
So, I decided to try the phone doctors and the guy thought it could be a malfunction in the power button because the phone tries to boot up any time you put the battery in. You don't have to hit any buttons and you can't insert the battery without it trying to power on.
I'll cross my fingers that's the problem and they phone doctor guy told me he has never seen this issue with an s4 but it was really common in s3's.
I go back in two hours to see if they have fixed it!

The s2 had this problem too and one way to confirm it was to pull the battery and put it back in. If it booted right away it was the power button. So it sounds like you're on to something.

I've been informed my phone might still be under factory warranty. Just out of speculation, if you root your phone and it ends up malfunctioning what would they do if you send it in for warranty? I'm not sure if my issue is hardware or software related at all.
Hey guys,
This is my first time posting, although I am constantly on the forums looking for help and ROMS. Its been about 4 months since the last ROM I downloaded for my phone. Its actually been 4 months since I did anything to my phone. I found a ROM that worked and kept with it. I have a sprint galaxy s4. fyi.
But yesterday while I was in the middle of texting on my phone it randomly shut off. When I tried to turn it back on nothing happened. Then I pulled the battery out and it rebooted showing the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen for about 3 seconds and then shut off again. I tried another working battery and still nothing. So then I pulled the battery out and try to get into the bootloader (holding down the volume up button). It said it was going into the recovery but then shut off about 3 seconds in. So then I tried holding down the volume down, home, and power button which allowed me to go to the OEM(I don't know if that's the correct term but it was a warning about tampering with the software) So I pressed volume up to continue and it immediately shut off again.
I cant get passed anything for about 5 seconds in without it shutting off. It's extremely frustrating and annoying that I literally cannot do anything with it.
Any sort of help or input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much in advance!

Make sure you have a well charged battery. Once this happened to me the phone was running hot and the little charge it had was wasted trying to get it to download mode. also having it connected to a computer/power outlet sometimes messes with the boot up. The timing of when you press the buttons also affects the loading. as soon as you see hte Galaxy S4 logo let go of the buttons. Hope this helps/.

I tried 2 different batteries, I also tried having it plugged into the computer, charger, anything. I've also tried different timing on the buttons appreciate the response though. I'm going to keep trying the timing of it.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Sounds to me like it can be a defective power button which Samsung is notorious of making on their devices.

Hey BIGSAMDA1ST....thank you so much I looked at it more closely and it seems like the button half of the button is jammed up in there.
Hopefully that's what was causing the problems. ?
Same probleme here (also since yesterday)
Could you solve the problem? I had the same problem yesterday. Galaxy S4 with CM 11. Suddendly the phone rebooted and it just came to life for about 3-4 seconds after taking the battery out and in again. After a few tries it booted coorectly again. But today the same thing happened and now it's dead for about 3 hours. Now I am going to buy an external charger and try to load the battery to 100 %. I also disassembled the phoine and checked the powerbutton for functionality.
Yeah that was not the problem. lol I'm sending it to an outside company due to the face that its not under any warranty. I'm saying its bricked lol
Hello
This is my first post here and I'd really appreciate advice in this matter.
I've spent the past couple of hours searching for an answer but nothing works or totally irrelevant results.
I have a problem where I'd rooted my phone with KingRoot, changed it to SuperSU successfully (restarted my phone several times since then and no issues)
I installed TWRP (only the app) from the Google Play store and that's as far as I got before I powered off my phone to cool down before attempting any installation of TWRP. Powered on my phone and I can't get past the Samsung logo.
Recovery won't come up, Download mode works but restarts itself and volume buttons do nothing to let me confirm download mode and so it's sending me in a loop. Samsung logo and restart again and again. I insert my battery and the first thing that happens is my phone goes on a mission, determined to power itself on only to Bootloop.
No, before anyone suggests it be a hardware issue, it's a brand new phone. There's nothing wrong with the buttons.
If anyone is going to point out the obvious in saying that I'm responsible for rooting my device, I'm aware of this. The rooting procedure was a one-click method which was successful and caused no boot issues after restarting the phone countless times.
Basically:
Bootloop
Can't access recovery
Can't get to Download mode without it getting back into the bootloop after 5 seconds or so. Volume buttons do nothing to confirm download mode.
USB debugging wasn't enabled before this Bootloop occurred
Do I have a paperweight or is there a way to salvage something from this?
The phone isn't supposed to power itself on after inserting the battery.
This behavior is only acceptable when the phone is plugged in while inserting the battery. But even so, the phone wouldn't try to boot up, it would just display the charging animation.
i had a similar problem where my phone would boot up to the white samsung logo as soon as i insert my battery. tirned out the power button was stuck. try gently knocking the power button onto the corner of a table or something with the battery pulled out. it might work for you if your problem is what i think it is.

Thank you for your response but would you like a video to prove that it is in fact attempting to boot up when inserting the battery?

I tested it on my device (I9505) and it doesn't boot up, it just turns on to display the charging animation. If I want it to boot up I have to hold the power button.
So, in conclusion, it must be your power button.
You can say the phone is new as much as you want, but there is a chance it came with a factory defect.
There might also be a possibility it is refurbished phone, which means it is pseudo-new.
